Abstract: Two adult Indian peahens (Pavo cristatus) were rescued by forest officials with injured wings and inability to fly. Bilateral, open, transverse mid shaft fracture of humerus in both birds were confirmed by physical examination. Open reduction and internal fixation was done with intra medullary pinning under general anaesthesia followed by external coaptation and wing strapping. By the third week onwards, birds started flapping the wings indicating restoration of functionality. Both the birds were released into the wild by the end of the fourth week.
